Boneless Louisiana Turtle Meat 1 lb Pack for Smaller Turtle Soup Recipes
What Is This Product?
This is a 1 lb pack of boneless Louisiana freshwater snapping turtle meat. It is cleaned, frozen, and ready to cook for smaller batches of turtle soup, gumbo, stew, sauce piquante, and other Cajun or Creole recipes. Looking for a larger portion? See our 2 lb turtle meat pack for traditional full batch recipes.
Important Product Clarification
This is freshwater snapping turtle meat, not sea turtle meat. Sea turtles are protected and should not be confused with legal freshwater turtle products sold by specialty food suppliers.
This 1 lb pack of boneless Louisiana turtle meat is a good choice when you want a smaller portion for a single recipe, a trial batch, or a lighter pot of turtle soup without buying a larger pack. It has the firm texture, mild game flavor, and rich character that work well with dark roux, the Cajun holy trinity, garlic, seasoning, and slow cooking.
For larger batches, family gatherings, or traditional full-pot recipes, consider the larger 2 lb turtle meat pack when available.
